When I first read the poll, I was thinking skidmark brown, then I realized what buttstripe you were talking about roflmao.. Satin black always looks good.

Let me guess.. German engineered, four door, 2.0L with a turbo... has TDI on the back of it??

Well gents, I made it back home this week, spent yesterday and today with the family, degreased the engine compartment on the old girl, dawn dish soap, a scrub brush and a water hose work WONDERS! car still looks like crap. removed the falling apart rotten underhood mat today, sanded out the...

Well gents, its been a while since I posted, I got pulled for an emergency deployment a while back, and am still on it. Just wanted to say, I miss wrenching on the black beasty, and miss hitting you guys up for advice. Take it easy gents!!! Mike

Hey guys, saw a gorgeous 65 Cherry Red Barracuda in downtown aiken, wondering if it belongs to any of the members on here.. If so- good looking car, thought I was the only person in this town with a old school Barracuda!

My mechanic buddy looked her over tonight, we went for a spin (actually we went for a romp on the skinny pedal) and he came out and told me that I stole the car for the price I bought it for. Me and him are going to wrench on it this weekend some (brake light switch is out of adjustment) and...

Well, Made it back down to SC yesterday from Virginia Beach.. Old girl ran like a top... The engine vibration's I had prior to the trip are no longer there.... Maybe the ol' girl's engine needed some hard running to straighten herself out and act right.. 70 on the interstate, 18 miles per...

Ive got a 2012 Jetta TDI as my DD, and I can tell you that little 2.0L diesel is a beast.. My truck was a 6bt 12 valve with the P7100, and that thing could run circles around most of the ford guys I know with diesels.. Diesels are the way to go these days, which is why most European cars have a...

Sleeper- funny you should say that about two weeks awaiting parts... It was about 9 days to get all the parts in, and a lot of cross referencing on both mine and the shops side to find the right stuff.. We went back and forth trying to find new components in some cases.. If mine had 9" drums...

wasn't a 4 hour brake job, they put 13 hours into it, only charged me for 9. Wife isn't happy, but I did make the comment that one of you made about hospital bills being a lot more expensive (of course didn't bring up the fact that I have Tricare so I don't pay squat for medical.... left that...

Rusty- I ok'd the work originally, but even the brake shop didn't expect the labor to be that bad.. they started tearing into it and sent pictures.. most of the brake system was shot (explains the fact that I either had straight lockup, or no stop at all) It just caught me with my pants down...

I plan on it when I get back to SC, but have been on a time constraint up here with my PCS transfer. oh well, had to get done anyways. Easy come, easy go right?

Ok if you guys think that's a fair price, then Im good with it.. just hit me hard in the wallet and wasn't expecting that much... been a long time since Ive taken anything to a shop and had to pay (wifes car is under warranty, everything else I worked on myself)

I haven't went and picked the car up yet. he called me this afternoon.... my wife is livid...... thank god shes got 18 days to calm down before I get back home... british pissed off wife.... not a fun experience.... Heres what he told me over the phone- New front drums, new wheel bearings...

Yeah, I got violated in a not so pleasant manner by a mechanic shop today... 1200 to rebuild the braking system on the car.... ouch....... 536 for parts (wtf????) and the rest was labor... full rebuild, plus dual cylinder master cylinder installed.... man my butt feels sore right now..... Is it...

Not an A-body plate, but a mopar plate.. My buddys Jeep says GRNDSMP (Grenade Sump...) Its a military/mud thing lol

This color code was light mauve Mettallic, my 66 cuda looked like this before the p/o painted it black... I can still see some of the original paint under the hood lol
